Diane, Clouds assignment
01-12-2008, 11:14 AM
Yesterday, between my bus runs, I found some time to cuddle with Cloud for a little while I was checking new posts on HB leaning back in my computer chair with my feet up on the couch. I had a black turtleneck shirt on and Cloud was on my chest trying to find a place to bury his head (like with a button down). He finally gave up, after customizing the neck of my shirt to parrot lace. I gave him scritches as he preened . I love the little squeaky sounds he makes. Well . . . time flies and when I realized I had get my butt back to work, I quickly put my little feathered love sponge back in his cage and headed to the bus compound.
I did manage to beat the time clock and when I turned around, one of the drivers asked, "Where's ours? . . . . We know you've been baking cause you've got flour all over your shirt." Sure enough, my shirt was covered with white powder, even fingers prints where I must have wiped my hands on my shirt after scritching Cloud's neck. Donna, the mom of Clouds original owner, laughed and announced, "That's not flour, that's cockatoo powder." :haha:
